A little more work done on the CISM Library and Bookshop this morning. Grabbing cover images from Amazon and uploading them to SL as textures, I customised a number of books with a simple script in each to link it to its description page in Amazon’s bookstore.

Next step will be to augment the script such that it gives the option of connecting either to Amazon or to the university OPAC. The simplest solution will be that the script merely open a new browser window … though I still hope to work at integrating the OPAC into Second Life itself.

About this site

Launched in July 2007 as documentation of a feasibility study for the integration of Second Life into the e-learning suite in the School of Computing & Information Systems (formerly the Faculty of Computing, Information Systems, and Mathematics) at Kingston University, UK, the site now serves as the Student Portal and blog of teaching a final-year module in virtual worlds development and strategy.
